PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY AS AN ADAPTATION TO A FUNCTIONAL TRADE-OFF

Phenotypic plasticity as an adaptation to a functional trade-off

We report the Filter evolution of a phenotypically plastic behavior that circumvents the hardwired trade-off that exists when resources are partitioned between growth and motility in Escherichia coli.We propagated cultures in a cyclical environment, alternating between growth up to carrying capacity and selection for chemotaxis.Initial adaptations

Applicability of three complementary relationship models for estimating actual evapotranspiration in urban area

The characteristics of evapotranspiration estimated by the complementary relationship actual evapotranspiration (CRAE), the advection-aridity (AA), and the modified advection-aridity (MAA) models were investigated in six pairs of rural and urban areas of Japan in order to evaluate the applicability of the three models Filter the urban area.The main

An integration scheme for stiff solid-gas reactor models

Many dynamic models encounter numerical integration problems because of a large span in the dynamic modes.In this paper we develop a numerical integration scheme for systems that include a gas phase, and solid and Cat Dehydrated liquid phases, such as a gas-solid reactor.The method is based on neglecting fast dynamic modes Cake/Pie Server and explo

Transcriptome-wide profiles of circular RNA and RNA-binding protein interactions reveal effects on circular RNA biogenesis and cancer pathway expression

Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable, often highly expressed RNA transcripts with potential to modulate other regulatory RNAs.A few circRNAs have been shown to bind RNA-binding proteins (RBPs); however, little is known about the prevalence and distribution of these interactions in different biological contexts.Methods We conduct
